Complete Amino Acid Sequence of Ostrich (Struthio camelus) Egg‐White Lysozyme, a Goose‐Type Lysozyme

Abstract
The complete amino acid sequence (185 amino acid residues) of the goose-type lysozyme from the egg white of ostrich (Struthio camelus) was determined from the study of tryptic (EC 3.4.21.4) and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease (EC 3.4.21.19) peptides as well as of CNBr and BNPS-skatole [Br adduct of 2-(2-nitrophenylsulfenyl)-3-methylindole] fragments. A slight sequence homology between the goose-type and chicken-type lysozymes was observed.
